    Hindus Call For Symmetra Skin Removal

    They're requesting the removal of the devi looking legendary Symmetra skin. They asked for the same about a skin in Smite but the developers declined.

    ". Controlling and manipulating Devi with a joystick/ button/keyboard/mouse was denigration. Devi was meant to be worshipped in temples and home shrines and not to be reduced to just a “character” in a video game to be used in combat in the virtual battleground."

    Also, it seems the Hindu website crashed!

    Thoughts?

    Well considering blizz bowed to zero pressure to change a Tracer pose I'd say we will be getting 2 skins replaced in a near patch cycle for sym
    I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.

    Well, I can see where they are coming from, but this isn't even remotely supposed to mock them in any way.

    it's just a skin, god these people need to get their heads out of their asses.

    we all know that Blizzard will once again bend over and remove the skin. Remember the uproar about the Tracer "ass pose"? Its going to be that all over again. Anytime anyone has a complaint about something being offensive in a Blizzard game they get right down on their knees and prepare to take that shot in the mouth so no one is "offended"

    Can you imagine the colossal butthurt if there was a male arab hero with a Muhammad skin...

    It ain't gonna get removed. Changing the pose during BETA was one thing, but removing skins that some people spent time(and money) on cus they really like it is different, Blizzard won't cave in on this one.

    Didn't a group already threaten the creators of South Park because of it?

    Because fun. No other reason.

    Blizzard makes a concept that would look cool. Not what would be correct to some ethnicity.

    Yeah, I highly doubt that Blizzard will remove the two skins. And even if they did, I'm sure we would've gotten something better as a replacement just like with the Tracer case.

    "How dare your imaginary character take the likeness of our imaginary character!!"

    Basically what all these complaints ever boil down too.
